Instructions
-
Slice cauliflower into thick steaks, about 3/4- to 1-in thick.
-
Place the cauliflower steaks in a large skillet and pour enough water to come halfway up sides of the cauliflower. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, cover the pan and steam for 4-5 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork tender. Drain cauliflower and let cool completely. Pour out leftover water in pan.
-
Meanwhile, set up a dredging station. Put the eggs and flour in separate shallow bowls or plates. Mix garlic powder, paprika and 1 tsp of salt with the flour. Dip both sides of the cooled cauliflower steaks in the flour mixture until coated completely. Toss the flour-coated cauliflower pieces into the eggs until they’re evenly coated, then return to flour mixture to toss again.
-
Pour in about 1/4- to 1/2-in of vegetable oil to the same (dry) skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the cauliflower steaks and fry until golden-brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Flip and fry for another 2 minutes. Remove the cooked cauliflower from pan and drain on paper towels.
-
Whisk together honey and hot sauce. Drizzle spicy honey over fried cauliflower steaks.
